As the graph below shows, campus electricity consumption and building space have a strong correlation. To see a graph showing the yearly consumption patterns related to on-campus population, click on the green dot below the graph to go to the next page.

Campus population is measured by full time equivalent students and faculty/staff.

As part of the SmartGrid project, the UW worked with several partners to install energy meters on individual buildings on campus, and develop the University of Washington Energy Dashboard, which allows users to see real time energy use by building, and compare energy use of buildings side by side.
